Three horse-drawn carriages lined up one after the other, with no end in sight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Among the carriages, there are occasionally a few four-wheeled carriages carrying passengers, which are a little conspicuous. On both sides of the carriage procession, a knight stood guard every short distance, taking care of any unusual conditions that might occur on the road.

In the past, it was not without a large convoy of grain and grass, but it has never been so neat and the same. , similar horses, even the goods on the car, are boxes or bags, giving people a neat and tidy feeling.

This kind of strict and uniform scene not only makes people feel cold and needs to be respected, but also has a different kind of shock, revealing an aura that surpasses the ordinary power of man, although it is only a fleet of freight wagons, not a convoy.

Wang Yan was a little frustrated, although it was very comfortable to sit in the carriage, but he was the deputy envoy of the three divisions, and it was always a little unpleasant to be mixed in such a team of transporting goods.

Things can't be blamed on others, in fact, Liu Xin has already asked people to prepare horses and retinues for him, he thinks he is a deputy envoy, how can he be so casual? Pick and choose the people and horses that have been arranged, and ask Liu Xin to send someone to change here and there, but Liu Xin was annoyed, and there is no suitable one now, so let him wait patiently and send it out.

Although Liu Xin is a Tiansheng eight-year jinshi, he is from a good background, and he is born with an advantage over Wang Yan. Besides, the officials of the two are not far behind, a deputy envoy of the household department can't scare him, and Wang Yan's energy can't affect Xu Ping.

When they arrived at the carriage, the official who led the team said to Wang Yan: "Deputy Envoy Wang, this carriage is moving very smoothly on the official road, and you can sit in peace." Need something in the car, albeit to the little ones. ”

Wang Yan waved his hand: "No need, there is not much distance to Balipu, it will be there all at once." ”

After speaking, he stepped into the car and got into the carriage with his head down.

This car is specially designed to transport passengers between the east and west of Beijing, although it looks inconspicuous, in fact, because it has to run the post road between the two capitals, the cost is more expensive than the four-wheeled carriage in the capital.

The post road is not as smooth as the road in the city, and the speed is not as slow as in the city, so if you want to be comfortable, you need to add an anti-earthquake system. Anyway, the load of the design is not large, Xu Ping made the entire carriage into one, and installed it on the chassis of the carriage with a four-bar mechanism, using good mulberry wood to absorb shocks. The four-bar mechanism can ensure that the carriage is always parallel to the ground, and although the mulberry wood is a little harder, fortunately, the strength is enough to avoid the accident The carriage will fly out.

Without the spring shock absorption, air shock absorption, and even all kinds of fancy suspension that were convenient to buy in the previous life, the car made in this era had to be reduced according to the material, just have that meaning.

Wang Yan entered the carriage, opened the window, and saw that the carriage was empty, sighing, and a little bored. Turning his head to look to the side, he saw that the windows of another passenger carriage were closed, and even the curtains were pulled down, so he couldn't see the scene inside at all, and he couldn't help but be curious. It has entered the early summer weather, who can endure the stuffiness inside, is it not a woman?

In the carriage next to him, Director Zheng straightened his waist and looked at the little guy sitting in front of him with a serious face. His eyes were wide open, making the joy who was huddled in front of the carriage a little frightened.

"Director, the sun is rising, and the compartment is stuffy, so it's better to open the window to breathe."

Xiqing accompanied him and whispered to Director Zheng.

Director Zheng said sullenly: "For hundreds of miles, I will take you to sit in the carriage, so comfortable, saving you the dusty rush on the road." What a blessing this is, how can it be disrespectful! ”

Seeing Director Zheng's frightened appearance, Xiqing shrunk his neck and didn't dare to speak again.

This time, the branch of the Sansi store was opened in Luoyang, Xijing, not only the goods had to be sold there, but even the shopping coupons had to be issued there. Director Zheng is one of the principals, and this time he was assigned the task of carrying shopping vouchers.

No matter what kind of character you are, how can you easily carry 100,000 yuan in your arms! Wrap 100,000 guan around your waist and ride a crane down to Yangzhou, that is the cool words that the person who wrote the poem did not really say 100,000 guan. If you really have that money, not to mention what kind of big thick waist can be wrapped around 100,000 yuan, this road is full of mountains and rivers, or think about how not to be robbed of the money.

Like this, the public officials who are in charge of huge sums of money in the three divisions have always been chosen by a solid family, and several families are the guarantors. The government is not afraid that you will run away with the money, and the money will naturally be copied from your home and the guarantor's house and returned to it, and then the whole country will catch it, and in the end, maybe the government will still make money. This 100,000 yuan, Director Zheng is responsible for the lives of dozens of families, although the team outside is huge, and the army is accompanying him, he is still so nervous that he can't keep his throat down.

Wang Yan next to him got into the car just now, and when he heard the movement, Director Zheng's heart was pounding, although he told himself that there would never be an accident at the feet of the Son of Heaven outside Kaifeng City, but he couldn't calm down anyway.

Infected by Director Zheng's emotions, the little girl was too nervous to celebrate, and she felt more and more stuffy in the carriage.

Seeing that it was not early, Xu Ping ordered to set off.

The huge convoy of freight vehicles slowly moved on the road, and the low sound of wheels crashing on the ground slowly sounded, like a huge monster, rolling forward without relentless.

Xu Ping was on the other side of the road, leading people to ride horses slowly.

Watching the huge convoy slowly move forward, Xu Ping's mood was inexplicably excited. This trade route between the two capitals is just the beginning, and in the next year, the three divisions will also open trade routes in the northern states of Jingxi Road, and every state and even some large counties will have the shops of the three divisions to open over. With the strength of the three divisions, a unified market will be opened between the two capitals.

The northern part was stabilized, and it will be expanded to the southern part of Jingxi Road from next year. Xiangzhou, the center of the south, is on the shore of the Han River, which is where the southern ships and northern horses converge. If the business network of the three divisions extends there, the influence can spread on both sides of the Yangtze River.

Yang sue was appointed as the transfer envoy of Jingxi Road, and these are exactly what he wants to do.

The other wing of Kaifeng Mansion is Jingdong Road, Nanjing Yingtianfu on the west side is too close to Fengfu, and the other half of the center Qingzhou is too far away from Fengfu, and the commercial scale of Yunzhou in the center is much worse, and it is not as convenient to develop as Jingxi Road.

However, as Wang Bin negotiated with his native in Goryeo, once he traded with Goryeo, and even opened up trade routes with Japan through this channel, the status of Jingdong Road became more important than that of Jingxi Road. It is also the top silk producing area in the country, and the business opportunities are also broader, which is the next place for the three divisions to develop.

Xu Ping has been busy in the capital for a year, and has laid the foundation, and now the big car of the third division is driving to the vast Central Plains again. With the huge convoy under the three divisions, nothing can stop it. (To be continued.) )
